Second time I've tried. Yes, great improvement here.
Deep Dark Indigo in color with little to no brick that expected from age. Thick and coating in the glass with purple runny legs.. Aroma is like the spiced Blueberry jam I used to make. Some dark chocolate as well.
Palate is rich, juicy Blueberry juice, pepper, black tea and even dark chocolate. Lovely Tannins have calmed since the last time I've tried this, but still very present. Finish is lengthy and very nice.

Big, big wine. A must with food industry my mind. Did enjoy it and settled into the bottle with several friends. I am very interested to see what a few more years does here. I will wait with my other bottle.
